A transgender athlete of Idaho asked the Supreme Court of the United States this week to leave a dispute against a law of the State which “prohibits transgender girls and women from playing in the sports teams of girls and women”, according to a file of her lawyers.

In July, the Supreme Court agreed to hear the Little c affair. Hecox, which started in 2020. A trans athlete at the State University of Boisse, Lindsay Hecox, continued the State to compete in the University Cross-Pays team.

“Although practicing female sports is important for Ms. Hecox, her top priority is to obtain her university degree and live a healthy and safe life”, A Deposit of his lawyers read. “Ms. Hecox has therefore decided to withdraw permanently and refrain from doing female sports at the BSU or in Idaho covered by HB 500.”

“Ms. Hecox firmly undertook not to try or participate in female sports sponsored by the school covered by HB 500,” he added. “Consequently, on September 2, 2025, Ms. Hecox filed the notice of voluntary dismissal, rejecting her complaint with prejudice.”

If the request is approved, the file cannot be refreshed.

In April 2020, Hecox continued a challenge against HB 500 in the first year at the BSU at the time, according to lawyers for the 24 -year -old man.

“Ms. Hecox allegedly alleged that she intended to try for the BSU track and cross-country teams as the second year, and that HB 500 prevented her from doing so in violation of her constitutional and statutory rights. Ms. Hecox opted for a preliminary injunction on the basis of her equal protection claim,” said the file.

“On August 17, 2020, the district court buried the petitioners preliminary to enforce the HB 500, concluding that Ms. Hecox was likely to succeed on the bottom of her equal protective challenge and that the fair factors also favored a preliminary injunction,” he added.

The American Court of Appeal for the ninth circuit then confirmed the preliminary injunction of the district court in June 2024, before the case went to the Supreme Court.

In the five years that followed the case, Hecox was faced with “important challenges that affected him personally and academic,” wrote lawyers. They cite a “disease” and death in 2022 of the father of Hex for hampering the “capacity of their customer to focus on his school work and to participate in sports”.

“Although Ms. Hecox stayed at university and that she continued to find strength and (camaraderie) in sport despite these challenges, she will only at least visited in May 2026,” he continued.

“Ms. Hecox has also been the subject of a negative examination of the public in certain districts because of this dispute, and she thinks that such continuous attention – and probably intensified – during the next school year, distracting her school work and will prevent her from achieving her academic and personal objectives,” said the deposit.

“The unequivocal abandonment of Ms. Hecix of her complaints against the petitioners makes this Oot case, and as the dismissal is in prejudice, there is no possibility of” the regeneration of the controversy by a reaffirmation of a right to litigate “, he concluded. “Because Mrs. Heco is abandoning her complaints after prevailing at the Court of Appeal, this court should leave the underlying judgment.”

The Idaho General Solicitor wrote in a subsequent deposit before the Supreme Court, “Petitioners intend to oppose the suggestion of the moments.”

“Given the difficulty of looking for, preparing, raising and printing an adequate response to Moot’s suggestion,” continued the general request, “we ask for an additional 14 days to oppose the suggestion and a new deadline of September 26.”
